Terry has multiple Easter egg inputs to classic SNK references in Street Fighter 6, Director impressed at how fast they were discovered


After more than 20 years apart, SNK characters are now showing back up in Capcom games, and the developers have clearly poured a lot of love paying respect to their classic legacy.






Following shortly after Terry Bogard’s release in Street Fighter 6, players quickly began to discover cool Easter eggs in the new DLC character’s gameplay harkening back to the original Fatal Fury days.









This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Capcom hide secrets in a new SF6 character, considering they previously allowed players to become Shin / SiRN Akuma in matches by following some very specific steps.


The ones they’ve included for Terry, however, are a lot easier to access and do inside of a real round.


Veteran pro player Dogura was among the first to discover the Fatal Fury star had something special added to his Power Geyser Super besides the ability to do it three times.


Instead of performing the usual double quarter circle motion, hitting the classic input of the move for quarter circle back, half circle forward plus medium kick and heavy punch will make Terry’s Power Geyser effect the original too that goes straight up as opposed to the angled shot.




It doesn’t appear to change the attack attributes of the Super, but it is a cool nod to the old school NeoGeo days.


SF6 Director Takayuki Nakayama seems to be surprised at just how quickly the secret was uncovered since he said he was planning to tease that information at Tokyo Game Show 2024 later this week.



On top of that, there’s another fun little reference packed into Terry’s move set that was uncovered shortly after as well.


When Terry performs an Overdrive Power Wave that causes him to go into Burnout, his voice clip changes to sound like the original Fatal Fury too.



It’s apparently not the same sound clip, however, as Nakayama again responded, commenting the fans worked so fast to find it and that he and Terry’s Japanese voice actor, Takashi Kondo, had a lot of fun recording the Easter egg.


The references of course go far beyond his gameplay too with his perfect win pose recreating his hat toss animation from Fatal Fury — and he tosses his jacket in Outfit 2 as a nice extra detail.



Mr. Bogard’s continue screen animation for Arcade Mode also calls back to the Real Bout Fatal Fury Special days as well.



Capcom even went so far as to put a NeoGeo CD loading screen in World Tour out of all the things they could have pulled from.



The amount of reverence given to Terry is almost staggering and shows just how much this crossover means to the developers.


It’d be wild to see how this much attention to detail would transfer over into a brand new Capcom vs. SNK title in the future, which SF6 may be setting up already.
